The Language of Wonder Workshop

Sunday, July 28th, 11am

Nothing conveys possibility and wonder like the beings that grow in the forest. On July 28th, 2024, from 11am to 12:45, join poet and writer Susan Jefts to explore some poems and a bit of science celebrating the amazing lives of trees. We'll take a short walk on the Adirondack Interpretive Center trails through the woods near the lakeshore, where you'll be guided into what images, scents, and sounds carry energy and meaning for you. We'll use poetry and forest prompts as guides for writing our own expressions of wonder. No experience with poetry needed. Bring a pen and notebook.

Cost: $15 per person
